I am new to this list and new to photography. I have a feeling this is not the list for me - from the messages I've been reading you all seem very experienced. Maybe I need to find a list for beginners?
Well, first, let me introduce myself - my name is Jasmine and I live in Portland, OR. I recently inherited a Spotmatic II, a Takumar 55m lens, a Takumar 200m lens, a Soligor zoom macro 28-80mm lens, and a vivitar skylight 49mm filter. I have ALWAYS wanted a camera like this - I've always been interested in photography - but I don't know how to use the darn thing! Most of the manuals and websites I've looked at are as confusing as figuring it out myself.
(I may be wording the terms and equipment wrong - forgive me - like I said I'm new at this)
Can anyone suggest anything for beginners? Pentax for Dummies?
I have a lot of questions, some of them probably stupid (yes, I know, there's no such thing as a stupid question) and I don't want to take up space and time with you if I should be on another list.
Thanks so much, jasmine
